Gonzo: Portland's best new food carts 2012

Editor's note: The following is one of our Top 10 food carts of the year. Keep in mind that carts open, close, move around and take breaks all the time, but most are good at using social media to let customers know what's up. Check websites, Twitter feeds or Facebook pages before heading out to eat.
